We are currently accepting tangible donations that may be perceived with the various senses for our Project: Awakenings. The goal of our community project is to facilitate and engender conversation regarding the most fundamental concerns of human existence of which we all share, that of our birth, our life, and the inevitability of our death. It is our hope that you will join in our passion for others and allow us to carry forth your exploration-of-ideas in addressing these basic issues we all face. Your pieces will be made available to the community at hospitals, nursing homes, community centers, and any additional places fit for the display of your work. We will explore and develop ways to reach those experiencing extenuating circumstances while providing these services at no cost through DAPEC.
